Derby Green Improvements

The Derby Green (Now designated as
the Birmingham Green Historic District on the National Register of Historic
Places) received a beautiful makeover in 1999. The new look pictured above was produced by Milone & MacBroom,
the city's engineers. New sidewalks were installed and the area around
the gazebo was enhanced with the addition of a plaza in front that greatly
enhances public events such as the summer concert series. There is also an
expanded plaza in the center of the green with a new flagpole, benches and
sidewalks. The sidewalk on Elizabeth Street was lowered to road level,
and decorative new lighting was added. Click

if you move your mouse over the Green, you will find links to them.
